Which of the following statements is
not true of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina ?
It is concerned with
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Anna Karenina sets Anna's tragedy against the everyday detail of family and social life, Levin's farming and his insistent search for the meaning of life, and the contemporary debates about progress, reform and science. The reaction of a dying man's family to his terminal illness is the subject of Tolstoy's later novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886). Nikolai Levin's death is an episode in Anna Karenina, but it is not one of the novel's main concerns.
